About this activity
Itinerary
Let's have a special time at Daisho-in, the most historical temple in Miyajima.
This plan offers you a cool experience to wear yukata and play "Tosenkyo", a Japanese traditional game.
"Tosenkyo" is an old traditional game similar to "Darts", where targets called "Chou" (means butterfly) perched on the wooden box called "Makura" (means pillow) and a player tosses an opened fan to the target. Scores determined according to the position of the fan, the target and the box.
It is not just a game of achieving scores, you can also enjoy the elegant act of playing the game and the scoring system based on the Tale of Genji, and moreover, a decoration of a butterfly and a pillow is so beautiful to watch. This unique game was created nearly 250 years ago in Japan.
The game will be held either at Daisho-in Hall where you can enjoy a panoramic sea view or at Shoseian Hall located in the Japanese garden.
After playing the tosenkyo game, enjoy your two-hour free time walking around Miyajima in yukata.
Depending on weather conditions you may not be allowed to walk around Miyajima. Instead, you can enjoy a photo shooting at Momijino-Ga or at Daisho-in. No discounts offered.
Stop At:
• Daishoin Temple, 210 Miyajimacho, Hatsukaichi 739-0592 Hiroshima Prefecture
